A rather short Community Express this week, as I'm still getting into the swing of things and we're all very busy right now with the upcoming release of Ultimate Trainz.
Last weekend, Trainz was on display at the AMRA show in Liverpool, Sydney. It was a great success with many community members turning out to lend a hand, show their support and generally have a good time. You can read what some of the forum members thought of the show here. Remember, if you know of any upcoming model train or computer game shows and think that Trainz should be there, drop us a line at marketing@auran.com.
The week in Content Creation has been a good one for American railfans, with previews of a new Switcher from
mthomas935, the unstoppable
prjindigo continues to churn out his EMD variants,
and gumbytrain
and realsquash of digitalroundhouse have released their first payware locomotives.
For the steamers out there,
Prowler901 has posted a preview of his narrow gauge Shay Locomotive,
and gregbaker's Eureka 4-4-0 is looking extremely droolworthy!

Our Waffle of the Week today is Anyone got a harpoon?
Whilst change-of-loco threads are a tradition on the forums, not-change-of-loco-threads are probably to be avoided and definitely tasty waffle!
Also of note on the waffle circuit this week was Andy_N's Forum Idea.
That's the Express until next week. See you all on the forums and on the chat.
